FBI agent Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) is sent to interview
imprisoned killer Dr. Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter (Anthony Hopkins).
She hopes he might reveal information about another crazed killer know
only as "Buffalo Bill," who is abducting young women, starving them, and
then killing them. Lecter's brilliant mind is intrigued by the beautiful
Starling, and he begins to giving her mystifying clues which could be helpful
or merely a game. The terror builds as "Buffalo Bill" grabs another
victim and the countdown to death begins again. Finding the madman
means Starling must get inside Lecter's mind. To stop the killer,
she must enter a terrifying race against death.

This movie is one of my all time favorites. While the gore
factor wasn't outrageously high, the thrill factor was earth shattering.
However, the movie did have it's gory parts. Who could forget when
Hannibal beat the cop to death with his own baton. Or when Lector
put the other cop's face on his own to escape.
